Tire Question

I have Michelin tires installed new in April 2013. Noticed this weekend that the left front tire is starting to show sun/weather cracks. Not sure why, as the MH doesn't sit parked for more than a couple of months at a time(none of this time is summer), and then it is kept in a open covered storage facility. The tire in question is facing east when stored. So, the question is What to Do? Would it make sense to move the tire to an inside position on the rear or should I leave it where it is and begin treating it with UHV protection and become more diligent in keeping it covered?

Check with Michelin, there is a good chance they will replace it.

Seems that's been a common problem with Michelin in recent years. I would check with the installer or Michelin to see about warranty replacement. No reason your safety should be compromised if it's a defect.
